Yeah I agree, I could always mount roller skates wheels to the oil pan lol
That's just my garage door open and it looks like I'm in a tunnel lol
I had a couple days to think about my mounting of the front brakes and took another look at them after work. I installed them completely incorrectly which isn't a surprise since I was sorta in a hurry to just see the car off of the jacstands anyways I fixed it and didn't need any of the shims strange sent with the kit .
1st picture shows the bracket on the correct side of the spindle I had it on the wrong side. I will put the pads in when it's time and make sure it's perfect.
Also I raised the front of the car and it's much better for oil pan clearance.

Nothing much to update except, I finally got an hour to work on my car, I drilled my cross member and placed the rear safety loop in. I still have some stuff to do to square up the differential. It seems to be a little crooked so I'm trying to find a good common spot to use for all my measurements. I've gotten away with eyeball and using the torsion bars cross member, 1 problem I have is it's really difficult to find anything square or plumb to do any squaring up.
Anyways 2 weeks ago I had to do some stuff for the dogs outside.
Last weekend I got to spend the weekend at my home track watching and hanging out with Bill, he's a good dude, Sunday Tim came out and we watched some other guys running their cars too.
I also talked to Paul at turbo action for about 1.5 hours. He's a good guy, as I thought and have been told I don't have enough duration at .050 but he says the 8 inch converter will handle any bigger camshaft I throw at it.
I have a solid roller but can't afford any of the other parts yet.
Being poor has a lot of benefits, buying stuff I want isn't one of them though lol

Had a blast and it was great hanging out with you my friend. I even managed to get a hug from Tim! lol
Yeah that was something....I didn't even think that was a thing he did, he's hugged my wife before but not me lol .
I'm just going to hug him tomorrow out of the blue
I always knew he was a mushy guy. lol
Lol, I know he is to my dogs.
He's a good dude

Like a roasted marshmallow, crusty on the outside but soft and gooey on the inside
To much hugging and kissing going on for this guy. If I start seeing rainbow colored license plates I’m out of here.
You won't ever need to worry about that lol
I’m gonna show up at a race at Norwalk, find @pittsburghracer and give him a big hug. Lol.
I figured as much.Like a roasted marshmallow, crusty on the outside but soft and gooey on the inside

Yesterday I screwed around for hours trying to get my pinion lined up, rear end squared and tires right in the wheel wells.
Today I loosened it all up set it on the ground and tightened it up. It seemed to work.
I need to cut 1/4 inch further in the front of the tire but that is easy.
I also relocated my sliders since I did it wrong last time.
I also welded in my rear and front driveline safety loop. I left enough room at the bottom of the rear to slide the driveline out .

Engine locators are in, I'll do some shaping on them when the engine is back out (take off some weight I don't want Bill getting mad again)
Lol.
I left a little extra metal there to make forward movement limiters.

I like that idea (using the same point for the limiter). Yoink!
That's if me (dumbass) can figure it out.

I have my limiters off of the transmission to the cross member.
That's a great idea.

Less interference and visibility in the engine compartment, love it!
Yoink !
